You need to write 3 consecutive EVEN numbers using only one variable. multiply by 2 to ensure the numbers are even. Add or subtract  2 to get the next consecutive number.
(2x - 2) , (2x) , (2x + 2)

add them up to equal -78
-78 = (2x-2) + 2x + (2x+2)
-78 = 6x
-78/6 = x
-13 = x

the numbers are:  (2(-13)-2) , 2(-13) , (2(-13)+2) 
-28, -26 , -24

choli [55]

Answer:

The value of f(-3) = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that f(x) = 3(x+2), in order to find f(-3), we have to substitute x = -3 into the function, f(x) :

f(x) = 3(x+2)

f(-3) = 3(-3+2)

= 3(-1)

= -3

Giving triangle and m what is m &gt;b
Gelneren [198K]

Since you know the triangles are congruent/equal, you know that:

m∠A and m∠X are congruent and have the same angle, and so does:

m∠B and m∠Y

m∠C and m∠Z

A triangle is 180°. (the 3 angles have to add up to 180) To find m∠B, you can do this:

m∠A + m∠B + m∠C = 180°

21° + m∠B + 35° = 180°    Subtract 21 and 35 on both sides

m∠B = 124° your answer is C

During one month, a homeowner used 500 units of electricity and 100 units of gas for a total cost of $333. The next month, 400 u
Mice21 [21]

Answer: the cost per unit of gas is $0.28

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost per unit of electricity.

Let y represent the cost per unit of gas.

During one month, a homeowner used 500 units of electricity and 100 units of gas for a total cost of $333. This is expressed as

500x + 100y = 333 - - - -- - -- - -- -1

The next month, 400 units of electricity and 150 units of gas were used for a total cost of $286. This is expressed as

400x + 150y = 286 - - - - - - - - - --2

Multiplying equation 1 by 400 and equation 2 by 500, it becomes

200000x + 40000y = 133200

200000x + 75000y = 143000

Subtracting, it becomes

- 35000y = - 9800

y = - 9800/- 35000

y = 0.28

Substituting y = 0.28 into equation 2, it becomes

400x + 150 × 0.28 = 286

400x = 286 - 42 = 244

x = 244/400 = 0.61

Solve 20 - x/3 = x/2 , put the number only in the box.
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

<h2>x = 24</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

20 -  \frac{x}{3}  =  \frac{x}{2}

Multiply through by the LCM that's 6 in order to eliminate the fraction

That's

6 \times 20 - 6 \times  \frac{x}{3}  = 6 \times  \frac{x}{2}  \\ 120 - 2x = 3x

Using the addition property add 2x to both sides of the equation

That's

3x + 2x = 120 + 2x - 2x \\ 5x = 120

<u>Divide both sides by 5</u>

\frac{5x}{5}  =  \frac{120}{5}

We have the final answer as

<h3>x = 24</h3>

Hope this helps you
